Platter 4.5 Stars
The 2018 vintage is a Cape Bordeaux-style blend, made up of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot.
The nose offers dark chocolate, ripe cherry, cigar box and caramelised blackberry aromas with a little red pepper, showcasing new-world fruit paired with old-world winemaking techniques. There is rich, concentrated red fruit on the palate, matched with big, well-integrated tannins and a bright, elegant finish and just a hint of oak.
